red tape

I am starting to see there is red tape up the wazoo at landstar.

My father has offered to give me the money to get my truck running if I sell his RV for him. It would Barely be enough at best as it is an older 5th wheel. It's a big sucker but would be best for a hunting camp or something and it's not really the best season to sell that sort of thing.

anyways. I check in with the guy doing my landstar application and he tells me I can't get approved untill he has all my paperwork including my drug test and truck inspection. I was told I could get preapproval even before owning a truck but now apparently I need my truck inspection before he can submitt it for approval. I was hoping to get approved and signed on so I could use the tire discounts to get my tires since my funds are tight. I doubt my truck would pass inspection with the tires that are on it.

So I guess it's back to looking for a company job. If I take a company job I'm liable to take a year and redo allot more stuff on my truck then I would have done if I could have got it up and running right away. Hopefully the rates go up by then.

 

I'm not going to lie. Just not how I operate.

I've been told that I have to be there 90 days before I can use any of the discounts offered through them. That really sucks. What do they care?
